BREAKING: Oklahoma Botched Execution

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

Yes, I'm sure people are just chomping at the bits to get an organ "donated" by a murderer.

Really.. Yeah right

[GandD 5,966]

1. Hanging

On the books: In New Hampshire and Washington state. In New Hampshire, inmates can only be hanged if lethal injection cannot be given for some reason; in Washington, inmates can request the gallows.http://www.livescience.com/10767-execution-science-kill-person.html

hang them high ... Needs to go back on the books in all 50 states and Washington DC. Problem solved

There were never any murders when hanging was an option. Smart statement. And especially easy solution. Easy solutions are the easiest to think up really. The less words in the statement, the greater the ease I find. May I suggest:

"HANG'EM"

as the quickest/easiest way to sum up a very complicated issue with many many many measurable readily available? Perhaps followed by a light hearted pat of ones own back as a reward to such an easy solution to all of society's woes? Maybe toss the word "evil" around for added effect?

[decocker 7,198]

we shouldn't be putting anyone to death until we get all the innocent folk off death row.

i'm against the death penalty, period. killing someone for killing someone else, isn't justice. there is no justice when someone's life is taken.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

The death penalty topics sure bring out the sadists

[Karee 4,189]

I don't see the benefit of capital punishment other than to satisfy some sort of revenge. It's not a deterrent. It actually costs more to execute someone than it does to keep them in prison for life. What I find really ironic is the same folks that run around claiming to be christian and pro life, are the same ones that support the death penalty.

Another reason religion is a waste of time. People can pick and choose which teachings to follow, and then rig the the parts they don't to fit their own beliefs. Bunch of hypocrites if you ask me.

We do need Comprehensive Reform, the current system is not fit for purpose.

It shouldn't. Hang them or shoot them the next day. So, we make a few mistakes. Perfect should not be the enemy of the good.

I believe most people who are themselves or have a loved one at deaths door don't ask too many questions and there have been many reports of people/tourists waking up in bathtubs full of ice( if they were lucky ) in countries to our south minus an organ. I believe most dying people would take an organ from anybody that was a viable match.

Innocent vs. the not innocent. Not that hard a concept to follow. What crime did an unborn child commit?

Atta boy Stalin. And what's with all this "innocent until proven guilty" BS?

The issue is

prisons cannot get the right cocktails to preform the death sentence... then hang them don't worry about the drugs. Just make sure the rope does not break. Buy a new rope for every hanging. .

I wonder what it would be like if people could legally sell their non-essential organs.
